Upon hearing this, Su Ye's heart stirred.
He knew of Li Jing's loyalty and affection for him, and he also understood Li Jing's concerns.
After all, Li Jing hasn't been promoted by Su Ye for very long.
Their relationship is definitely not as good as that of Zhuque and Yuwen Chengdu, who were raised by the Yunwang Mansion from a young age.
If we were to give him the vast majority of the current strength of Cangzhou...
If Li Jing were to harbor any rebellious intentions, it would be a catastrophic disaster for Cangzhou!
Su Ye sighed softly and said, "Pharmacist, I have witnessed your loyalty and bravery."
"But the situation is complicated now, and we must make the wisest choice."
"I'm at ease letting you stay and continue the conquest of Qizhou, so I can return to Cangzhou with peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Li Jing's eyes.
"Please rest assured, my lord! I will certainly live up to your expectations and trust!"
"As long as I have a breath left, I will never let the enemy army set foot outside the Qilian Mountains!"
Li Jing rose and knelt before his lord, swearing an oath.
Su Ye quickly helped Li Jing up, her eyes filled with gratitude and trust.
"With a pharmacist here, I naturally feel at ease."
"But pharmacists also need to be extra careful."
He patted Li Jing on the shoulder and said.
"Please take good care of me, sir."
"In the days to come, please continue to assist the pharmacist with advice and help us overcome these difficulties."
Then Su Ye turned to Yao Guangxiao and said.
Although Su Ye decided to return to Cangzhou, he still left Yao Guangxiao behind.
This is not just about An Lijing's heart.
After all, it would be a shame to let a newcomer who had only recently submitted take charge of all of Su Ye's wealth.
He himself was filled with anxiety, fearing that one day his achievements would overshadow his master.
Suddenly, the lord killed him.
With Yao Guangxiao around, Li Jing felt reassured.
Sometimes people are just that strange.
They'll only feel uneasy if you don't send someone to keep an eye on them.
Only when someone is sent will they feel at ease.
"Please rest assured, my lord! Daoyan will do everything in his power to assist General Li!"
Yao Guangxiao, holding his Buddhist prayer beads, bowed and said.
Holding the prayer beads, his thoughts seemed to flow with each turn of the beads.
Within the formidable Yaohua Pass, his heart was far from at peace, though he maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the outside.
He was contemplating the upcoming battle.
The numerous checkpoints in the continuous mountains of Qizhou are all challenging problems that require clever strategies and unwavering determination to overcome.
He had to mentally rehearse the process repeatedly to ensure that every detail was considered thoroughly.
The prayer beads slowly turned in Yao Guangxiao's hands, and with each bead he turned, he seemed to find a moment of peace in his heart.
The setting sun was like blood, dyeing half the sky red.
Amidst the vast mountains, an army stands silently.
Their armor gleamed coldly in the afterglow of the setting sun, and their banners fluttered in the wind.
Su Ye's armor was engraved with exquisite dragon patterns, and he wore an extremely sharp longsword at his waist.
The purpose of returning to Cangling City this time is not only to handle urgent political affairs, but also to stabilize the morale of the army.
Also worth paying special attention to are the war between the Yellow Turbans of the Central Region and the Great Qian Dynasty, as well as the three princesses sent by the Great Qian Dynasty for marriage alliances.
Furthermore, with the addition of Temujin and others, the grasslands gradually descended into chaos.
Su Ye also needs to add fuel to the fire!
With a thousand thoughts in their eyes, the light cavalrymen who were going back with Su Ye quickly prepared to set off.
Their movements were swift and orderly, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.
The armor gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight, and his gaze was firm and sharp, as if he were ready to face any challenge at any moment.
Su Ye mounted his warhorse and waved to signal them to set off.
With a rapid thud of hooves, the light cavalry galloped away like arrows released from a bow.
The procession was perfectly synchronized, the horses' hooves flew, and dust billowed everywhere.
When the light cavalry arrived at Cangling City, the city gates were already open.
Li Shanchang and his men reappeared at the city gate with their troops.
Outside Cangling City, a wide official road leads directly to the city gate.
The city wall is paved with bluestone, and the years have etched mottled marks on its surface, bearing witness to the city's vicissitudes of history.
On the city tower, banners fluttered in the wind, showcasing the majesty and grandeur of the capital.
As the sound of horses' hooves grew louder, the area inside and outside the city gates gradually became noisy.
As everyone eagerly awaited, a troop of light cavalry gradually appeared on the horizon.
They were dressed in uniform armor, with sharp blades at their waists and longbows on their backs; each of them was a carefully selected elite warrior.
At the very front of the procession, Su Ye, clad in magnificent armor, rode a tall horse, head held high and chest out, exuding an air of grandeur.
His appearance immediately caused an uproar both inside and outside the city gate.
"His Highness is back!" Some sharp-eyed people recognized Su Ye, who was leading the group, and cheered.
"Your Highness is mighty!" the people shouted in unison, their voices echoing across the land.
Finally, amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, the light cavalry arrived at the city gate.
Li Shanchang led the officials forward, who all bowed deeply and greeted them loudly, "Welcome back, our lord!"
"Please rise, sir. You've all worked hard."
Upon seeing this, Su Ye quickly dismounted and went forward to help Li Shanchang and the others up.
"It is truly a blessing for Cangzhou that our lord has returned safely!"
Li Shanchang stood up and smiled at Su Ye.
Subsequently, Li Shanchang led Su Ye and his soldiers into the city.
Among the jubilant crowd were three women whose temperament was completely different from the others, yet each possessed her own unique charm.
The second princess, Si Luoying, was dressed in military attire, looking heroic and valiant.
At this moment, she mingled among the common people, yet she still could not conceal her innate boldness and majesty.
The fourth princess, Si Luoshi, wore an elegant long dress. Her face was gentle, and her eyes revealed intellect and wisdom.
At this moment, she stood quietly in the crowd, gazing into the distance with her poetic eyes, anticipating Su Ye's return.
The sixth princess, Si Luoqing, was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit typical of a martial arts heroine. Her eyes were cold and resolute, and she exuded an indomitable spirit.
Although the three princesses had very different personalities, at this moment they were all filled with anticipation and curiosity for Su Ye, their future husband.
"Second sister, what kind of person do you think this Prince Yun is?"
Si Luoshi couldn't help but ask.
Her voice was clear and melodious, but in the noisy crowd, only her two sisters could hear it clearly.
"It must be extraordinary, to be able to take Cangzhou so quickly and firmly in our hands in such a short time, taking advantage of our Daqian's unpreparedness."
"Moreover, seeing that the Great Yong was in great turmoil, they did not hesitate to send troops to Qizhou."
"I imagine that this Prince Yun's martial prowess must be extraordinary."
Si Luoying smiled slightly, her smile revealing confidence and boldness.
"I once heard my master mention that this Prince Yun had traveled the martial world for several years."
"He has made quite a name for himself in the martial arts world."
Si Luoqing, who was standing to the side, added softly.
Just as the three princesses were talking in hushed tones, the sound of horses' hooves came from the distant street.
The three princesses couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look into the distance.
A troop of cavalry escorted a group of soldiers as they slowly approached.
On the pure white divine steed sat a young man in battle armor. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a majestic air about him. He was none other than Su Ye, whom they had been waiting for.
Surrounded by the crowd, Su Ye walked slowly forward, a gentle smile always on his face.
When his gaze inadvertently swept over the three princesses, he was slightly taken aback, seemingly attracted by their unique charm.
But soon he looked away and continued walking.
Although Su Ye only glanced at her briefly, the three princesses were deeply moved.
They knew that this Prince Yun would likely be an unavoidable presence in their future lives.
As the lord's party moved further and further away, the three princesses slowly came to their senses.
They exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.
They knew that from this day forward, their lives would be transformed by the arrival of their lord.
"During the time our lord was away, we have been dutiful and have not dared to slack off in the slightest."
"Everything is well in the city, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the shops are thriving, and the warehouses are full."
As they walked, Li Shanchang reported the situation in the city to Su Ye.
"I am very pleased with your effective governance, sir."
Su Ye nodded in approval.
As they spoke, the two arrived at the training ground in the city.
On the parade ground, flags fluttered and drums resounded, as squads of elite soldiers stood in formation awaiting inspection.
"My lord, these are the city's most recently trained elite soldiers."
"They train day and night, waiting only for their lord's command to be ready to go through fire and water for him."
Li Shanchang pointed to the soldiers on the training ground and said to Su Ye.
"Excellent, sir, you've worked hard!"
Looking at the spirited new army in front of him, Su Ye sighed with emotion.
As expected of a Saint-level political genius, after a newly trained army was taken to Qizhou by Su Ye.
He immediately raised another army.
